To experiment it load Suzanne and try to cell fracture it; it won't work because of the previously described problem. Now, follow the steps above and you'll see where the problems are. When you have corrected them, try again the Cell Fracture and it should work fine. You may also search for video tutorials online on Cell Fracture for more information on its usage.
